deep breath...and again and again.....bring scented lotions or something or body spray and just calm down and spray some on.....also listen ot music that you liek on the drive over......jsut take deeeeep breaths

I think the meeting and the trip are a lot to take on - I certainly couldn't cope with it. Is it possible to put off your trip to your parents for a couple of days?

You will do fine onlyup. You have been through worse, much worse. Try not to obsess about it. Get yourself ready and then try to focus on something else.
When I obsess about things, I can literally make myself sick so I can't do anything.
Just breathe and know we are thinking about you.

Thanks everybody, I think the appointment went well.He said I needed help and he was going to make sure I got some help. I cant believe I made it through the trip without totally freaking. The vehicle we were in broke down in San Francisco on the highway, got it fixed though. But then it actually died a long way from home. But no freak outs yeahhhhhhhh....Thanks again...

Wow! Bravo! You did so well. You should be so proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing how well you did. That encourages others, including me.

I love the encouragement that comes with this sight.. Its a place I can go and not feel alone or like I am a freak.. It feels good to start feeling normal again, if just for awhile. It will start happening more often and then I can go back to work someday. I think that accepting myself for the first time in my life is important to the healing.. When I can get my focus on a mor consistent basis I want to go to school so that eventually. I can help others...That is my dream......And to educate people that dont understand what there love ones who suffer PTSD
